Won in good style over 7f here on final start last season, now 11lb higher, good chance
1 (21)	Mercurial Bay J:Sean D Bowen(5) T:John J Nallen	J:Sean D Bowen(5) T:John J Nallen	142	—	42262-	70	77	55	139d	—	—	+3	18.4	1.25/1	5/1 17%
1-25 record a concern but ended the season with C&D second on heavy ground
15 (3)	Timeonourside Bay J:Wayne Hassett(7) T:Leonard Paul Flynn	J:Wayne Hassett(7) T:Leonard Paul Flynn	122	—	475-	63	76	39	139d	—	—	-3	5.8	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Ran creditably at a big price in a C&D maiden on final start at two, of some interest now
5 (19)	Conversant Grey J:Colin Keane T:Ciaran Murphy	J:Colin Keane T:Ciaran Murphy	130	tb	05730-	58	79	61	134d	—	—	-3	7	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Suited by very soft ground, of some interest here with Colin Keane booked
4 (15)	Downforce Bay J:Nathan Crosse T:W McCreery	J:Nathan Crosse T:W McCreery	136	—	54063-	64	82	61	289d	—	—	+1	8.6	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Eight-time winner, well suited by testing conditions, worth considering on that basis
13 (10)	Master Garvey Bay J:Robert Whearty(5) T:Joseph Anthony Murray	J:Robert Whearty(5) T:Joseph Anthony Murray	123	—	07495-	51	79	56	94d	—	—	-5	2.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
19-race maiden; decent placed form on turf last summer, never quite at best at Dundalk
14 (14)	Bright Image Bay J:Declan McDonogh T:C P Donoghue	J:Declan McDonogh T:C P Donoghue	122	t	80904-	50	71	52	103d	—	—	-4	1.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Not certain to be suited by heavy ground, produced a solid display at Dundalk in December
16 (20)	Gegenpressing Bay J:Leigh Roche T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	J:Leigh Roche T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	121	t	0006-4	49	81	52	62d	—	—	-3	1.1	5.00/1	20/1 5%
In fair form at Dundalk lately but overall turf form is patchy, others are more appealing
11 (9)	Angel On Fire Bay J:Andrew Slattery T:P F McEnery	J:Andrew Slattery T:P F McEnery	124	t	03015-	52	77	33	140d	—	—	+5	9.8	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Handled heavy ground well when winning at Gowran last season, this trip may be inadequate
17 (4)	Liberty Looming Chestnut J:Rory Cleary T:J S Bolger	J:Rory Cleary T:J S Bolger	120	—	006-	61	64	37	139d	—	—	-1	4.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Ridden by a 10lb claimer when showing improvement on final 2023 start, definite chance
7 (12)	Rattletheonionbag Bay J:James Ryan(5) T:W P Browne	J:James Ryan(5) T:W P Browne	128	—	3538-0	56	81	59	38d	—	—	-2	2.7	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Placed on AW and on turf, lightly raced, hard to fancy after a poor Dundalk run last month
19 (13)	Dark Viper gr/b J:Keithen Kennedy(7) T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Keithen Kennedy(7) T:Mrs John Harrington	119	p	48808-	60	70	16	116d	—	—	0	3.6	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Not much encouragement from his form for Richard Hannon, gelded now, cheekpieces on
3 (16)	Livingston Range Chestnut J:Robbie Colgan T:R Donohoe	J:Robbie Colgan T:R Donohoe	141	t	8-0390	69	81	66	10d	—	—	+2	5.8	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Fit from action at Dundalk but hard to make a strong case for him, best on good ground
10 (11)	Land Lover Bay J:J M Sheridan T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:J M Sheridan T:Denis Gerard Hogan	125	—	40769-	66	81	69	157d	—	—	+1	5	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Early promise in Britain last season, became disappointing, best watched on Irish debut
12 (8)	Guest Star Bay J:Shane Foley T:Mark Fahey	J:Shane Foley T:Mark Fahey	124	—	5500-7	65	73	71	62d	—	—	+2	4.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Well-exposed sort is now looking regressive after three moderate runs Dundalk
2 (2)	Amanirenas Bay J:Danny Sheehy T:M C Grassick	J:Danny Sheehy T:M C Grassick	141	—	81880-	69	77	59	205d	—	—	+6	8.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
All three wins on good ground, out of the money on her final three starts last season
9 (6)	Jackie Brown Bay J:Ben Coen T:A J Martin	J:Ben Coen T:A J Martin	125	t	02170-	53	77	54	204d	—	—	+5	8.2	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Only success gained over this trip but on good ground, others have stronger credentials
8 (17)	The Stray Sod Grey J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:John C McConnell	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:John C McConnell	127	—	4900-0	55	73	57	33d	—	—	0	1.7	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Never in first three, fourth of seven at Dundalk her best effort, poor recent Dundalk run.
21 (5)	Burn The Bridges Chestnut J:Rory Mulligan(10) T:Jack W Davison	J:Rory Mulligan(10) T:Jack W Davison	119	tp	5080-8	60	66	38	45d	—	—	+1	3	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Weak form so far, 10lb out of the handicap, up against it despite rider's 10lb allowance
18 (1)	Coco Hill Bay J:Siobhan Rutledge(3) T:John C McConnell	J:Siobhan Rutledge(3) T:John C McConnell	119	p	7900-0	47	77	64	24d	—	—	-2	0.6	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Two 6f turf wins in Britain, has been out of form at Dundalk during the winter,

Only flashes of form on turf last year, should be sharper for his stable debut at Dundalk
